Passion moves all the senses. The smell of the loved one seems more surprising, the sound of the voice causes thrill and a simple touch can shoot a chain of physical reactions that are difficult to control. Although science does not yet have a definitive explanation for all the sensations of the passion, the hormonal and neurological mechanisms involved show that the Love It also manifests itself physically and the body reacts intensely to this vortex of emotions.

Below, take a look at some physical reactions caused by love emotions!

1. Butterflies in the stomach

According to Dr. Firmino Haag, cardiologist and cardiology coordinator of the Albert Sabin hospital (ha), the famous reactions such as “Butterflies in the stomach” are a real and complex response of the body to the release of hormones such as adrenaline, dopamine and norepinephrine.

“When we fall in love, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, triggering intense physical reactions. Adrenaline, for example, can reduce blood flow in the abdominal region, causing that feeling of cold or tension in the belly,” explains the expert.

2. Acceleration of the heartbeat

In addition to the sensations in the stomach, the body responds to passion in other ways. The increased heartbeat when you see or approach the loved one is also a direct effect of the action of hormones. “The presence of the person who attracts us activates the release of adrenaline, increasing heart rate, blood pressure and blood flow. It is as if the body was on alert to something important”, adds Dr. Firmino Haag.

3. Facial washing and increased blood flow

Another classic sign of passion is the washing of the face, the involuntary redness in the cheeks. According to the doctor, this is due to the fact that the sudden increase in blood flow is one of the reactions of the body to emotional excitement. “It is a physiological reaction to the hormonal release, which dilates the blood vessels and causes the typical reddish color in the cheeks,” he explains.

4. Points dilated as a reflection of excitement

Even the eyes give the feeling. The dilation of the pupils, common when looking at someone you like, is also caused by the execution of norepinephrine on the eyes of the eyes. “Pupils expand as part of the sympathetic response of the nervous system, unconsciously revealing our emotional state,” says the cardiologist.
